Appropriate "thank you" gift for a Khmer person?

Hi everyone -

I'm fairly new to Cambodia, and I would like to know what would be an appropriate "thank you" gift or gesture for a Khmer person. The building maintenance man at my office was kind enough to take me and my malfunctioning motorbike to his mechanic and stayed with me until they finished fixing it. I would love to bring him something small to say "thanks". Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I think you should buy him a $8 or $10 dollar T-shirt. I am sure he will be happy and grateful for it.

My Country, My Beer. The gift that is acceptable to every Khmer mans brain.

I'm with Stroppy on the fruit. $3 - $5, and he'll share it with his workmates, and everyone will love you.

Yes, I some fruit or money is better. I don't think every Khmer men like beer. Some of my friends and my brother don't drink even in the party because they it's not good for health.
